Re: [IRCA] RIP Air America Radio

[Mike Hawkins <michael.d.hawkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

I listen to KGO on rare occasions.  While they have kept their format
essentially intact for "centuries", I find it generally boring.  A special
guest on a program may make it worthwhile for me to listen, but listening to
KGO is like eating the same thing for dinner 8700 nights in a row.  Its
interesting that with their huge signal up and down the Pacific Coast, there
are places on I-580 in the East Bay where you cannot receive them at all.
The magic of directional patterns and finding the perfect null point!
